The new BR 03-92 Horograph fits in the Bell & Ross family of watch-instruments. Its case designed in a contemporary style, retakes Bell & Ross’ iconic “circle within a square”, reminiscent of the clocks in aircraft cockpits. Aesthetically, these timepieces adopt one of the great precepts of design: “shape induced by function”. Bauhaus, the legendary German school of fine arts is at the origin of this movement characterized by an abundance of right angles, clean lines and minimal ornamentation. Way ahead of its time, this movement established, as early as in the 20s, the foundations of modern design.

Its case is made of micro-blasted steel with a matte finish. The technique consists of high-pressure spraying of tiny glass beads onto the surface of the metal. This roughens it, gives it a uniform appearance and a high purity tone of grey. For the first time in a square steel case, the finish is matte and therefore anti-reflective, avoiding reverberations in sunlight.

The design of the dial is simple. The baton indexes, reinforced by baton-shaped hands, guarantee an extremely easy reading. Indexes and hands interact with the black and white contrast, which also guarantees optimum readability.
